Older man / younger woman

android

I have a questionable thirst for older dudes and man, it's surprisingly hard to find that kind of shows (movies are ok too). I mean, it's a given that almost every time the male lead is older, but I'm looking for a real age gap, not like 3-5 years or something. Most lists that I've found on this subject are usually like that, the actors are born 5 years apart and the age difference isn't that noticeable. 

Last thing I found that actually fit my description was Hotaru no Hikari (13 years apart booyah)

Pls help a gal out

I'm not sure if you're looking for age gaps between the lead couple or the actors (or both), but in terms of actors, here are the few that I know of that came to mind so I hope this helps...

Oh My Ghostess - I haven't seen it myself (it's still on my PTW), but I know the age gap is at least considerable between the two main leads (Jo Jung Suk is 10 years older than Park Bo Young)

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - Lee Joon Gi is 11 years older than IU

Suspicious Partner - Ji Chang Wook is 8 years older than Nam Ji Hyun

Black - Song Seong Heon is 14 years older than Go Ah Ra

Shopping King Louie - Seo In Guk is 8 years older than Nam Ji Hyun

oh and @neo, I guess I meant specifically an age gap between the actors. For example, in Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms the female lead goddess is something like 50 millennia older than the male lead, but the actress is actually few years younger so I wouldn't count it as a real age gap.
